Let a Cyclone Loose on Him.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 15.-The state live
stock commissioners have published reply
to the recent letter from Commissioner Col
man, of Washington City, in which he criti-
cised so severely the action of sa d state com
missicners. 1t is as long Or longer than Col
mans letter, and assails him vigorously.
The commissioners claim that the discov-
cry Of pleuro pneumonia in Illinois was due
TO them, and that the government bureau Of
agriculture never discovered case in any
state. As to the condition of Shufeldt's
distillery sheds, the commissioners say the
facts are not as CoIman stated. They charge
that his recommendations to the governor
are pueriie.
The commissioners undertake to show that
Colman's communication contains malicious
Interpretations for the purpose of deceiving
the public. The board claims to have
done more in ninety days to sup
press pleuro-pneumonia, with limited ap-
preparations, than the department of agri-
culture has dons in more than two and half
years, with ample appropriations, scientific
knowledge, and appliances, and to have es-
tablished presidents that the department has
